Description
Description
Transesophageal Echocardiography: Basic and Advanced Aspects and Clinical Field of Application provides clinicians and echocardiography professionals with a thorough and practical resource covering both the fundamental principles and advanced clinical uses of TEE. It benefits the audience by delivering step-by-step guidance on image acquisition, interpretation of valve and ventricular pathology, and real-world applications in perioperative, emergency, and interventional settings. Richly illustrated and supplemented by instructional videos, the book’s contents include diagnostic techniques, perioperative management, assessment of prosthetic and congenital heart conditions, and specialized topics such as TEE in sports cardiology and critical care—empowering readers to improve patient outcomes and master the latest advancements in cardiovascular imaging.
